fabric material used to make things

Material like cotton or wool that is used to make clothes, bags, and other things.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] buys [cloth] to make [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *a cloth* when they mean the material in general. Use *cloth* without *a* for the material (e.g., *This dress is made of soft cloth*, not *of a soft cloth*). They also confuse *cloth* (material) with *clothes* (things you wear).
ہم معنی الفاظ
